We're saying a big thank you to all our Official Selection Preselectors. First we would like to thank Ana Luísa!⁠
⁠
Ana Luísa educated as an engineer, always has had an eye and interest for photography and filmmaking. Over the years, Ana studied, worked and volunteered in countries such as Turkey, China, Spain as well as Portugal, which is where she was born and raised. Settling in The Netherlands, Ana put on hold her career and dedicated herself to the wildlife and natural history filmmaking industry. ⁠
⁠
She aided the establishment of Ateles Films as an independent film production company. Spending considerable time in the field, her work also covers all other stages of production from concept to delivery. Lammergeiers, barbary macaques, spider monkeys and foxes amongst others, feature in her own Ateles Films productions or for channels such as NHK, France Televisions, BBC or Nat Geo Wild. ⁠
⁠
Every project is a lesson, but also an opportunity to share the importance of the wildlife around or far away from us. Her mission is to tell stories about real animals with wild behavior.⁠

In the video, Ana Santos from #AtelesFilms is walking in the ancient rock-hewn town Uplistsikhe, in eastern Georgia. We travelled one month is Georgia, and this bag was our best partner to hide our gear inconspicuously. Probably the more negative point of this bag is the fact that it has no mouth to tell all stories that it witnessed!

There we go a few images from last night's show Wunderschon on @WDR, the west german channel. Ateles Films is very proud to feature and be guest on this. The whole program is very appealing and shows where we are based in the Netherlands. In our sequence we are seen guiding host @andreagriessmann by bike and on foot around the dunes national park Hollandse Duinen and briefly talking about our royal neighbours. The show reminds us how lucky we are where we live and the job we have. Many thanks to the whole production team for this programme .

Last week on 3rd of March 2020, Ateles Films atten

Last week on 3rd of March 2020, Ateles Films attended the World Wildlife Day Biodiversity Film Showcase at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to receive honourable mention award for their short film "Spider Monkey For Sale". The #WWD2020 was an amazing event with inspiring people that have been essential in communicating and raising awareness for the importance of wildlife and the environment.

The events of Day also included the screening of the movie "Wild Karnata" directed by Amoghavarska and music by Ricky Kej; the premiere of the "Jane Goodall The Hope" from @National Geographic that will be aired in April; and a session about the impact of the Global warming and the efforts to save the Australian Wildlife. Good talk about an important topic.

This day was an incredible experience for us and we are grateful to be part of it. It was also a good surprise to see our dear friends that are also inspiring our tv with amazing natural history documentaries.
The cherry on top was to see the Empire State Building and Times Squares decorated as ambassadors for the cause with posters and special lighting shows.

Thanks to all the great organisers:
Jackson Wild, CITES, United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, UN Environment Programme, Convention on Biological Diversity
See an impression of the day in the pictures!

And here it is! The teaser for Spider Monkey For Sale.
.

Synopsis
Are you looking for a Spider Monkey for Sale?

If the last time you saw a cute monkey video and you said ’I want one…’ then this might be for you.

This is the more frequent comment we see when cute clips are posted on social media. Although it is often made without real intention, there are some people that are serious. This demand creates a supply that is provided by desperate people who can see this as an opportunity. Sold for a couple of dollars after being stolen, they become worth thousands in the city and across borders tens of thousands, if they even survive the journey.

Every pet monkey comes from the wild. Even if they come from a breeding sanctuary, there are recent descendants from a monkeys that was physically stolen from the wild. Spider Monkey For Saleshows how a baby spider monkey gets stolen from its family by killing their mother, father, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and other members of their group that get in the way.

If you knew the true cost of wanting and owning a baby monkey for your own entertainment, would you still want one?

If you really need a furry friend, check the local shelter for dogs and cats in need, domesticated breeds that have evolved with us, not wild and endangered animals which the few wildernesses left need to remain alive and worth protecting. A forest without biodiversity is harder to protect than with. Every species counts.
